That said, you both love the Z, and it doesn't sound as if you are going to be having any more kids, so needing something more practical isn't as important. Moreover, I would questions if ultimately you didn't end up taking the Prius on the long trips for the gas milage and reliability.
I'm not sure which engine is in your particular z, but I can tell you that with proper maintenance my fiancee's 2002 325xi with 130k is running like it did when she pulled it off the lot. Few on here can remark on what 100k will bring for a Z, but many on here would attest to the longterm reliability of BMW.

I have the 3.0I, It's good to know regarding the 130k. I just did take the Prius to NJ, I'm taking the car in for it's first service with 4567 miles on it and I haven't even made my first payment yet. That's my concern.
